Fun, educational self-build kit

Two part construction, self build kit is easy to assemble with minimal soldering required. POCO™ is crammed to the max with high technology that can be shoe horned inside its compact body. Learn how a micro computer works on the inside and outside - simple video assembly instructions available online.

Make a mini Gaming console

Download a free emulator such as RetroPie to turn the POCO™ into a retro gaming machine which can emulate 50 classic game consoles with thousands of games available. Alternatively play native games such as Minecraft® (ideal for school clubs). Programmable gaming controls including tactile analogue joysticks and multiple push buttons, allow infinite possibilities.

Make an ultra thin music player

Download a free music player such as RuneAudio which can play sound via POCO's built in speaker or 3.5mm jack socket (accepts standard ear bud headphones). Store music on microSD cards.

Teach yourself coding

Use command line input or instead use free programmes such as Scratch - a visual programming tool with a drag-and-drop interface that allows the user to create animations, games and stories to share with others around the world.

Hackable - easy to modify

Download free software and get hardware ideas from the vast Raspberry Pi® blog resource and learn to tinker on the go. What can you turn POCO™ into? Maker examples here.
